Wood, the guests were invited into the Sunday school rooms where refreshments were served. Altogether the evening was very profitably and pleasntly spent as interest was aroused in both foreign and home missions and the members of the congre gation were brought both closer together socially- letter addressed TO farmers. Mr. Farmer and Family: We do not think we are asking you to do more than your part, when we ask you to go to some trouble and bring with you to the fair many things from the farm and the home. Many have said to us that it would be some trouble; perhaps it will, it has been a great deal of trouble to get up the Fair. Some are in doubts nhnnf t air being clean and free from fakirs. You can rest assure now that you and your exhibits will be protected in every reasonable Way. The town and fnnnfv anrl -v v W W Fair association are all cooperat ing to protect you and your ex hibits from damage or injury. Again we want to impress upon you that it depends upon the amount and variety of things you exhibit as to the largeness of the success ef the Fair. The Fair is going to be a success, but it is going to be a grander success, a greater credit to the county, if you, the men who have the live stock, fid and garden crops, etc. will show them to your neighbor at these halls of exhibits. We want the Fair to be a credit to you and to us and we assure you that each effort you make encour ages us and encourages others. Yours for the greatest agricul-i tural and Educational Fair in the State. Geo. It. Ross, Secty. AVERT AWFUL TRAGEDY Timely advice given Mrs C. Willoughby, of Maengo, Wis. (R. No 1) prevented a dreadful tragedy and paved two lives. Doctors had said her frightful cough w a s a ''consumption" cough and could do little to help her. After many remedies failed her aunt urged her to take Dr. King's New Discovery. '1 have been using it for some time," she wrote "and the awful cough has almost gone. It also saved my little boy when taken with a severe bronchial trouble." This matchless medicine has no equal for throat and lung troubles. Price 50c and $1.00. Trial bottle free. Guarenteed by J. T. Under wood. It's time to purchase those nice warm blanks you will need this winter. Wood and Mooring have the kind you want. head, Marrietta Berry, Annie Davis, Grace Frazier, Gertrude Ferree, Beatrice King, Louella Lowe, Fannie Newby, Lillie Rich ardson, Mary Wall, Frances Wal ker, Moleta Yow, Everette Ken dall, Everette Newby.

Randolph County Fair Topics of Interest Concerning The Coming Event, Oct. 3U-Nov. 4. - Providence Township Farmers To Be At The Fair. The Farmers of Providence Township are going fo meet at Providence school house next Saturday afternoon to discuss me; hods by which they can make a great demonstration of their farm products at the Fair. They have asked Mr. Geo. R. Ross to meet with them and to explain any doubt or question regarding the oporation of the Fair. Town of Asheboro Protects The Fair And its Exhibits. At a meeting of the board of town commissions Monday night they passed an ordance forbidd ing any fakirs or shows to operate in Asheboro during the Fair. They also passed ordances for bidding any one to attempt to climb over the Fair ground fence, and also to make it a misdemeanor with a fine of not less than one dollar and not over fifty dollars for any one to injure or damage any exhibit at the Fair. Police Force at the Fair. The sheriff of the county will cocporate with the chief of police force in having at their service during Fair week a strong corps if both county deputies and town policmen. The Fair association will also maintain directors and guards both day and night to protect all exhibits from damage or injury Duty Of The Farmer. Thd Fair managment cannot be critizeri for insisting upon the farmers doi g everv thinjr nossi- ble to make a large display of s J exhibits. Trie Fair for its agricultural s being held and educa- tiu-.-d value and only those who tal ; pare in making it a success CHii reap the greatest benmt from it them selves. Many old Wagoners are ex- j pressing them selves as delighted with the preparation that has been made to give them grounds and water where they can hold their old time camps. This will be a place of .much interest at night especially, and no doubt many will visit there to hear the songs and music and see the true life of the happy old Wagoners. It is very liberal on the part of the Fair managment to give the exhibitors a pass ticket for one day, and in the case of live stock to give passes for each day, because they charge no fees for entering any thing (except poulty) and the expenses of 1 he Fair are necessarily- great: special notice. Any standard breed of live stock or poultry not mentioned in the Randolph Fair premium list will be received by the Fair management under the same rules and regulations incompiti tion for prizes as though they appeared in the printed list. A few omissions have been called to my attention as the black Essex hog and other live stock that we want exhibited. Geo. R. Ross, Mgr. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS THIS WEEK C. T. Loflin, Suits etc. J T.

Millsaps Writes Interestingly on Several Subjects of Importance to I Randolph County Farmers. The Bulletin has received the following from Mr. E. S. Mill sap?, district manager of farm demonstration work in Western North Carolina. In order that our people may Set some of the facts of our 'agricultural progress which are bting made i t North Carolina, and get them in readable form, I Publish the following, with com parisons and conclusions: From the United States Year Book I find that the acreage for corn in North Carolina in 1910 was 2,072,000, acres and the yield was 57,139,200, bushels valued at $43,426,000, which is an aver age of 76 cents per bushel. During the same year there were 1,624 acres worked under demonstration methods with an average production of 43.4 bush els per acre. Now suppose the entire acreage had produced at the same rate, we should have had 233,324,800 bushels which at the average price as above would be worth $101,326,848. This would have made a gain of 76, 185,600 bushels and a gain of $57, -900,000 in the crop of 1910. We purchas every year $100,000, 000 worth of supplies in the form of corn and wheat, hay and meat. The above gain in corn would go a long way-in payment of this bill. Then the cotton cron shows an equal gain and all other crops acceding', but for our purpose we fill consider only the corn crop. Take the gain in the corn crop as above $57,900,000, and suppose the average tax rate for the several counties is 76 cents on the $100 valuation, then the additional tax would be $434,250. At present the farm demonstra tion work cost less than $20,000. How does $20,000 look compared with $434,250? Suppose we say that for some time to come we should get only half this amount, $217,125, that is still a neat sum. We have now 100 counties in the state. Divide $217,125 by 100 and you have $2,171.25 as the portion for the average county. Does that look good? Remember then that the government is ask ing only $300 from the county. Suppose that is too large, and we divide in half again. We still have $1,085,62 in return for $300. You may divide again and you are still on the safe side of the ledger. Mecklenburg county has seen a vision, she has had demonstra tion work for four vears. and now she appropriates $900 from which has been supplemented by 300 from the goverment, and they have now $1,200 to employ a county commissioner of agricul ture on full time and pay him a salary of $100 per month. The commissioner travels over the county five days in the week, and is in his office in Charlotte on Saturday to meet the farmers who do not see him during the days he travels among them. This is a forward step, and is in keeping with the splendid spirit of progressiveness which haracterizes the Mecklenburg people.- They have long led the people of North Carolina. From the day the sturdy Sons of Liberty signed the immortal Mecklen burg Declaration of Independence to this good hour, they have stood second to none in the march pro gress. Now will not every progressive citizen support this great move ment? It is a splended business proposition. What other busi- Negro Mobbed Strung Up To Telephone Pole And Riddled Witb Bullets. A special from Greensville, S. C. to Wednesday's Charlotte Observer says: A longdistance telephone mes sage from Honea Path says that at 11:24 o'clock to-night Willis Jackson was swung to a telephone pole by one of his heels and his body riddled with bullets. The negro was carried to the identi cal spot where the crime was committed and from their was taken to the nearest telephone and swung up by one'f oot. Four hundred shots, as near as can be estimated, were fired into his body, Winchester rifles, magazine pistols revolvers and shot-guns being the weapons of death used. NO SJDE attractions THE FAIR. DURING At a meeting o the town com missioners Monday night the fol lowing, ordnance was passed: Whereas the time from the 31st day of October to the 4th day of November,-1911, has been select ed for the Randolph County Fair and Home Coming Week; and whereas the promoters of said Fair are of the opinion that dur ing said time the presence of chows and' merry-go-rounds, peddlers and other attractions in the town of Asheboro would de tract from the interest taken 1 in the said Fair; and whereas' the town of Asheboro desires to en courage the aforesaid Fair .and protect it from said shows, etc. : Now, therefore, it shall be unlawful for any show, merry-go-round, peddler, or other attraction to exhibit or operate in the saffl town of Asheboro from the 30th of October, to the 5th day of November, 1911, and the mayor is instructed not to issue any license for any said objects during said time. It is ordered that this be pub lished in both the County papers. This the 9th day of October, 1911. MORE DEMOCRATIC NCOM PETENCY. The officials of Robeson County are all mixed "up about the term of court to be held in Lumberton next week. It seems that while the Representatives from Robe son were not looking, the last Legislature abolished the October term of court for Robeson and gave the time to some other county. Cases have been made returnable to the "October term," and while court will be held in Lumberton next week, it appears that the Governor, will have to order it a soecail term in order to avoid the question, ofj validity of cases to be heard. Another case of where Demo cratic good government has bungled the job. Caucasian. Gives Aid To Strikers. Sometimes liver kidneys and bowels seem to go on a strike and refuse to work right. Then you need those pleasant little' strike-breakers Dr. King's New Life Pills to give them natural aid and gently compel proper action. Excellent health soon follows. Try them. 25c at J. T. Underwood's. ness is to be compared to agricul ture? It brings to a state a sturdy citizenship, good roads, good schools, improvemont in rural life conditions, and higher ideals of living. Are. these things worth while? ONE DOLLAR A 7 YEAR REUNION AND BIRTHDAY DINNER. OnThurday.Sept. 28, 1911 a very enjoyable reunion of the Cox family and friends was held at the residence of Mr. Calvin Cox, son of the late Nathan and Sarah Cox, who resides near Buffalo Ford on Ramsure R. F. D. No. 1. A Birthday Dinner was given in honor of Mr. Calvin Cox who has just passed 80th years mile post. Mr. Cox was born on 28 day of 8 month 1831. on adjoin ing plantaion where he now lives, not like the boys of to-day, who before they are 10 years old talk about the "Old Man" and leave home and if they have any thing spend it and what their parents too, having a time. Calvin, as we all call him, was reared and come from the best old Quaker families that Randolph county possesses with a lot of land, property and money and every thing else to make one happy and all who ever had a chance to meet Nathan and Sarah Cox was.treated as one of the family. Calvin made good. The old say ing bring up a child in the way it should go and when it is old, it will not depart from it and iaivin nas macte gooa in every thing and a nobler hearted man was never known in old Randolph As the writer as long as he could remember lived just across Deep River at the Swiff milll used to go over with father and mother in a conoe to spend the first day of the week with uncle Nathan and aunt Sarah and Calvin is sure a chip off the old block. Calvin was married to . Salley Moffitt on 22 day 12 month 1854. seven children blessed their home and 32 grand children, six of these children are still living. Mrs. Cox died on 13th day, 4th month 1894. Calvin was married the second time to Eliza Rebecca Smith, near Siler City on Dec. 3 1895. To this union 3 children were born. All children now living ex cept oldest daughter by first wife all were present on this occasion ' except T. R. - Burgess and wife and some of his children and Mrs. Emra Cox and some chil dren. Those present were N. Emra Cox and daughter, principal of penmanship of Buie's creek school in Harnett county. J. P. Stout and wife, Sarah A. Stephen, Clarkson Cox and wife and children. Geo. C. York and wife, Tempa Cox and children William O. Cox wife and children Second set of children John Calvin Cox, Ice- Imogerie Cox, Yancy Young Cox. 26 grand children present,bro.-in-law Wm.

Hugh Coward and family. Thomas B. Parker and wife, Thomas J. Green. Miss Alma Cox and others. Early Thursday morning vehicle of all kinds commenced to arrive from different parts of Randolph and by 12 quite an assembly had gathered together. All were greeted with a smile and hearty hand shake by Mr. Cox and his good wife wKo threw their doors wide open to receive their welcome guest into their hospitable home. While the children played on the lawn and the men whiled away the time in A conversation, the. good women of the assembly were busily engaged preparing the palatable meal which all Nbrth Carolina country . . women : only know how to prepare.
